Its Monday................Lloyd went back to work after his week off................so we got back into our routine...............
Today I wanted to get the house clean and tidy after our week off.............so we have dusted and vacuumed the whole house, washed the windows inside and out,washed the floors, done the laundry..........I finally unpacked the suitcase with the clean clothes................The windows were FILTHY outside because of the dogs...they get wet muddy paws and then jump up at the windows!
The children have helped, and in between I have sorted out some photo shoots, sent some emails, started a letter...............and the children have been busy doing their thang!
Susie did some of her Write Now book....then she got out a book on measurements and did a few pages.......she then made more rice krispies squares with Laurie............
Laurie worked on bridge plans for his pasta bridge...he is hoping to take part in the spaghetti bridge contest at the science Centre...............
Abigail did some worksheets, some colouring and some painting at the table.......Sam pottered about......
Chris did a report on WWE and its growth.............he wrote a first person account of D-Day, he studied the various views on animal rights.................and he reviewed some Japanese........
This afternoon if it dries up we are going to the lake for a walk and again if its dry we want to walk up into the side field and do some plaster of paris molds of some deer prints in the mud............
The house is all clean :) The fire outside is STILL burning...since yesterday morning!!! Its just smoldering really..........but it smells Fall-like....................
I've talked to Lloyd on the phone a few times...he's busy after having a week off....his team are glad to have him back so I hear :) I got an I miss u email too :)
So thats our day so far.......off to have lunch now....actually breakfast because I haven't had anything yet.....I ALWAYS have breakfast so I feel a bit guilty for missing it today.......off to have fiber 1...maybe with a bit of Vanilla Almond Special K mixed in ;)
